Re-enrolment
By law, your workplace must check if you qualify to be in a pension every three years and re-enrol you if you do. They must do this even if you've asked to stop paying into your account before. But, you will get a chance to stop paying into your account again, if you want to.

You can stop paying into your now:pensions account at any time. But, if it’s been more than a month since you were enrolled, you won’t get your payments back. Your pension savings will stay invested until you retire and start to take your money, or you transfer your pension savings out to another pension.
Your workplace pays in to your pension as well as you. If you stop paying in, your workplace stops paying in too. So you lose the extra money they pay in.
If you don’t pay into your pension, you miss out on tax relief, which is extra money from the government.
And you’ll miss out on building up any more pension savings for your future.
